8. Mark Normand@marknorm “i used to work as a janitor during the day so this is a nice step up. Mopping floors, cleaning toilets. I remember one day I was mopping the floor and a businessman slipped. He was like **** man, if the floor is wet you gotta put a sign down. I’m like, I’m mopping in front of you. I am the sign. You know that little guy on the sign doing this?

18. Jimmy Shubert@jimmyshubert Jimmy explained why a chicken omelet is just barbaric. “An egg omelet with chunks of chicken in it. Which is wrong. You don’t take the eggs out of the chicken, then cook the chicken, and put it in the eggs.” “Thats’ not breakfast, thats a vendetta. Whose ordering breakfast Tony Soprano?” Jimmy is going on as aSEMI-FINALIST

19. Lachlan Patterson@lachjaw Lachlan said the best part of the buffet is there’s no waiter to bother him. “What can I get for you? The hell out of my way.” And he’s aSEMI-FINALIST.

20. Gloria Bigelow @gloriabigelow Gloria only had as short clip up, and she explained that crudite is not ghetto. Not a finalist.

24. Jasper Redd@jasperredd Jasper says, “I don’t drink 1800 tequila. 1800 wasn’t a good year for black folk. You got some 1992 tequila, then I’ll partake.” He also doesn’t understand why black people like movies about slavery. And he’s moving on.SEMI-FINALIST.

25. Ben Kronberg. @benkronberg Ben didn’t quite get along with the judges. Roseanne told him to go fuck himself, and Russell told him he took a lot of time to tell an old joke. He did not make it out of the invitationals but he did get to fight with the judges, and we’re expecting his clip will become a YouTube hit.
